🇻🇪🤝🇮🇱❗️ — Venezuela, now under President Delcy Rodriguez and the Reformist wing of PSUV, will begin exporting oil to the State of Israel.

📝 The first shipment of Venezuelan crude has just left for the Bazán Group, Israel's largest refinery.

➡️ Generally, Israel doesn’t advertise where it gets its crude oil from, and tankers have sometimes disappeared from digital tracking systems once they near the country’s ports.

🛢 When the cargo arrives, it would mark the first shipment of its kind since mid-2020, when Israel took about 470,000 barrels, according to Kpler data. Bazan, also known as Oil Refineries Ltd, declined to comment. Israel’s energy ministry declined to comment on where the country gets its crude from.

🇺🇸🇯🇴🇬🇧🇪🇸🗺 — As hinted by observers, this is likely part of a rotation operation, with the USAF F-15E Strike Eagles being possibily replaced over the next days at Muwaffaq Salti by two flights of 6x USAF F-35A Lightning lls with the “The Green Mountain Boys” of the Vermont Air National Guard’s 158th Fighter Wing

🗺 The F-35A jets are now at pre-staged positions at RAF Lakenheath in the Kingdom of England and Naval Station Rota in the Kingdom of Spain.

🗺 A batch of 6x USAF "VT" F-35A's of the Vermont Air National Guard at Burlington ANGB have arrived at RAF Lakenheath at yesterday's evening, along with USAF tankers GOLD 81/82/83 arriving at RAF Mildenhall.

🗺 As noted by observers, this is the second cell of 6x USAF F-35's to move from Roosevelt Roads Naval Air Station to Europe, with the remainder being at Naval Station Rota

🇮🇷❌🇺🇸🇮🇱 — Observers under the Institute for Science and International Security report that evidence recently captured high-resolution satellite imagery shows tunnel entrances of the Iranian underground nuclear facility at the Isfahan Nuclear Complex are being buried in bentonite clay.

If true, this would be a major evidence that the Islamic Republic in Iran is indeed well aware that a Joint American-Israeli wave of heavy strikes could be imminent and that no deal is going to be made at all

➡️ The middle and southern entrances are unrecognizable and fully covered in soil.

➡️ The northernmost tunnel entrance which features additional passive defense measures is backfilled with soil. No more vehicle activity is seen around the three entrances.

📝 As noted by the Inst for Science, the Iranians could be concerned that US and Israel could carry out not only bombings against the facility, but also retrieve the Uraniaum buried there, as the by backfilling the tunnel entrances, it would help dampen any potential airstrike and also make ground access in a special forces raid to seize or destroy any highly enriched uranium that may be housed inside difficult.

➡️ As noted by them, preparations like these were last observed in the days before Operation Midnight Hammer struck facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.
